It follows the market movement very closely. 2 years ago we kept seeing threads about bounty scam, because that was 2 years bearish market. Now when the market is growing again, I see bounty gradually becoming profitable as before.
Bounties gradually become profitable only when we see good project launching but nowadays, most of the project failed to raise funds because people are very selective investing in the project. Some fake projects are launching their bounties without any innovative thoughts.
